An article for keeping a foot (and potentially a sock) dry, when placed within a boot, the article comprising a non-rigid membrane impermeable to water and disposable material, and conformed to the shape of the foot so that there is little or no excess material when the article is placed over the foot (and potentially the sock, and both are) placed within the boot. The article may comprise a toe section, heel section, lower leg section, top opening, and a means for preventing the lower leg section and the top opening from falling down. Notwithstanding its disposability, the material comprising the article may be sufficiently resilient and durable for withstanding the frequent and substantial forces that the boot and foot may be subjected to during a work day at a wet construction site. The article may also allow continued use of a punctured previously-waterproof boot without the foot becoming wet. |

1. An article for keeping a foot and a sock placed over the foot dry, the foot having toes and a heel and above the foot there being a lower leg, when the foot and the sock are placed within a boot, the article comprising:
a non-rigid, resilient membrane impermeable to water and comprised of disposable material, conformed to the shape of the foot and comprising a toe section, a heel section opposite to the toe section, a lower leg section above the heel section, and a top opening above the lower leg section; the article configured for placement over the foot and over the sock so that the toe section covers the toes of the foot and the heel section covers the heel of the foot, and the lower leg section covers at least a portion of the lower leg without the presence of excess material not conformed to the shape of the foot;whereby, with the article placed over the foot and sock, and the article foot and sock placed in the boot, water is prevented from passing through the membrane to the foot and sock and also substantially prevented from entering the top opening to the foot and sock, so that the foot and the sock remain dry while in the boot. |
